1. A creative photo to start with – this was taken in my garden, but can you guess what it is? (solution at the end – no scrolling down until you’ve guessed)

2. Those new herbs from Saturday’s Six had a rude awakening on Sunday, with a layer of snow covering them. Surprisingly, they didn’t seem to mind too much.

3. Most of the snow had melted, but the Berberis was clinging on to a few patches.

So did you guess what picture number one was? 

Do you want to have another guess before scrolling down to see the answer?

It’s the icicles hanging down from the pipework leading to the water butt. I know the guttering drips like crazy, but I hadn’t expected this pipe to get icicles!
